About

Colourlab AI is a color grading tool from Color Intelligence that automates shot matching, color balance, and look design, running on-device as a desktop app or as plugins for DaVinci Resolve, Premiere Pro, and Final Cut Pro. Its cinematic neural network matches footage to reference frames and show looks, with plans from around $14/month for creators up to studio tiers. Automated matching speeds up consistent grades across timelines, though it can oversimplify work for advanced colorists who want full manual control.
